Paris Landing State Park is an 841-acre (3.4 km2) state park located on the western bank of Kentucky Lake in Buchanan, Henry County, Tennessee.[1]

The park is located inland from the original site of Paris Landing which served steamboat traffic on the Tennessee River. The site is now under the waters of Kentucky Lake, which was created by TVA when the Tennessee River was dammed in 1944.[2]
